How to check Apple AirPods battery levels on Android
As Apple has built the AirPods to function just like any other Bluetooth earpiece, there are no special requirements to check on Android. Android should give you some indication as to where your battery is when you check your Bluetooth devices. However, not all Android phones are built the same.
Luckily, there are a few apps to help work around this. A recommendation would be to use AirBattery. This app attempts to mimic the functionality of iOS, by displaying them within their own little window.
The AirBattery app requires you to allow it to be seen over other open apps. Once you grant that permission and follow the on-screen instructions, you’ll be able to see the battery status of your AirPods and charger whenever you open the egg with them still in.
